ELEMENTS OF ASSET MANAGEMENT
GENERAL AND ORGANISATION Issues to Ensure Continuity and Sustainability
ORGANISATION Policy Something to guide implementation and confirm commitment Stakeholder Requirements Level of Service Levels of Asset Management Levels of Maturity and Sophistication Do not try to jump too far Gap Analysis Where are we vs where do we want to be and programme Change Management Manage changing roles and responsibilities RAMS System issues computer system, data, procedures, staff, budget Not just a computer system!
Levels LEVELS OF ASSET MANAGEMENT IV - Complex III - Detailed II - Basic I - Simple Maturity
INVENTORY Identification and Location Identification of Fixed Assets Location Referencing Asset Hierarchy Asset Groupings Asset Type, Topography Environment Physical eg Climate, Social eg Urban/ Rural Fixed Asset Register Assets, Components, Items
Typical Road and Link layout Town A Km 0.0 Link 1 Km 5.2 Km 8.4 Km 13.6 Km 0.0 Road P1 has two sections - P1/1 and P1/2. P1/1 is 13.6km long and P1/2 is 14.2km long The direction of the road is from Town A to Town B. Km 9.1 Road Section P1/1 has 3 links. Link 1 ends at the end of the dual carriageway. The westbound carriageway carries traffic in the opposite direction of the road (in the direction of decreasing km distances) and is therefore the negative carriageway. Road Section P1/2 has 2 links. Link 1 is not subdivided at mr 346 as most minor roads are not used to create links due to their insignificant traffic volumes. Km 14.2 Town B
Asset Hierarchy Facility Asset Component Item Route / Group of Roads Road Link Bridge Drainage Structures Surfacing Pavement Formation Structure Components as per bridge assessments manual Layers Deck Piers Abutments Foundations Barriers Bearings Joints Items as per bridge assessments manual
DATA COLLECTION Accurate Consistent Regular GPS/ GIS Visual Pavements Paved, Unpaved, Concrete, Block, Structures Ancillary Assets Surveillance Riding Quality Deflection Balance Practicality and Cost Different for different classes of road Consistent for different asset types: Roads/ Structures/ Ancillary Assets
Comfortable Speed IRI Typical Condition 100 km/h < 5 (3) 80 100 km/h 7.5 5 (5.7) 60-80 km/h 10-7.5 (8) 45 60 km/h 12.5 10 (11) < 35 km/h 15 (15)
ASSET VALUATION Current Replacement Cost (CRC) Unit Rates x Quantity (km, m 2 etc) Depreciated Replacement Cost CRC x RUL/EUL CRC x % Condition (For straight line) Value at a Component Level not lower at an item level
UDSAGE AND CONDITION DATA Traffic Counts Accident Records Condition Evaluation TMH9 TMH Structures Ancillary Assets Frequency of Data Collection Traffic counts 3 year cycle for Class 3 and higher, 5 year cycle for balance of network Accidents all personal injury accidents (PIA) Visual - annually or every 2 to 5 years Surveillance every 2 to 5 years to N/A for urban low class Data Quality Data Storage
INDICES Engineering Condition Indices for Each Component using deduct points and based on: Visual Inspections Surveillance Measurements Functional Ratings for each Asset based on Congestion (Capacity Failure) Riding Quality (Serviceability Failure) Safety - (Serviceability Failure)
Extent Deduct Points Degree 1 2 3 4 5 1 VG (4) VG (12) G (16) G (21) G (28) 2 VG (12) G (18) G (24) F (30) F (35) 3 G (15) F (30) F (40) P (50) P (58) 4 G (21) P (50) P (60) VP (67) VP (75) 5 G (25) P (55) VP (70) VP (75) VP (80)

End of Life
COMBINED INDICES Combination Indices Combine indices for FI on congestion, riding quality and safety into a single FI based on deduct points Bundled Indices Bundle CI based for an asset based on component values (CRC) Bundle CI for a Facility based on asset values Bundle FI for a Facility based on usage (vkm) Bundle to regional and network levels for components and asset types
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS What is the overall condition of the road network? How well is the network meeting its functional and structural requirements? What are the predominant problems that occur? What do past trends say about the efficacy of the Asset Management Plans?
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Extent Road Length of different types per road class per region Usage Vehicle Kilometres being travelled in different conditions Condition Trends and Comparisons with set norms User Cost Consequences Depreciated Asset Values
Condition Comparisons
TRENDS
Excess User Costs
NEEDS DETERMINATION Questions on treatments and priorities Which categories of treatment and actions should be applied? What should the relative expenditure on each category be? What are the priorities for each road segment and its treatment? Which series of treatments for each road segment represents optimal expenditure within the constraints of the current budget. Questions on overall budget requirements and consequences How much money should be spent to retain the minimum required conditions? How much money should be spent to achieve desirable conditions?
BASIC TECHNICAL NEEDS Routine Maintenance - Cyclical Blading, Vegetation, Cleaning Routine Maintenance Condition Crack Sealing, Patching, Minor Repairs Periodic Maintenance Surface Rejuvenation, Road Sign Replacement Resurfacing Reseals, Regravelling Special Extensive Repairs and Resurfacing, Bridge Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Reconstruction Upgrading New Roads
PRIORITISATION AND OPTIMISATION (Level III and IV) Life Cycle Needs Extensive Data Decision Support Systems Prioritisation Not worst first! Prediction Modelling Benefits / Cost Optimisation Options Analysis Goal Seeking Analysis of Consequences of Different Levels of Expenditure
TOP CONSIDERATIONS 1. Road Infrastructure Asset Management (RIAM) needs to be tackled in a consistent and sustainable manner 2. Not just a computer system and short term inspections 3. Needs a long term view with long term appointments of a range of service providers to support Owner/ Custodian 4. Start simple and Monitor Progress at top level 5. Preserve good roads first and tackle very bad ones in a prioritised fashion 6. Improve Gravel Road Maintenance to extend usage 7. Integrate RIAM with Maintenance Operations 8. Try and ensure similar processes for all assets
TMH22 ISSUES STILL TO BE DEALT WITH Harmonise CI and FI for all assets Formation/ Waterway inspections Ancillary asset inspections and integration Accident Records Consistency of CI/FI through application and careful evaluation of results and adjustments where necessary
